In this article, we'll cover how to install the standard edition of Godot - which is both free and open source. Before beginning, you may wish to review Godot's system requirements.

In this section, we'll cover how to install Godot. Note that we recommend installing the latest stable version for optimal compatibility with our courses.

1. Head to the Godot website at https://godotengine.org/

2. Click the "Download Latest" button on the front page. This will automatically take you to the download page for your operating system.

3. Once on the download page, click the first download option (which is for the standard version). This will download the Godot engine to your local computer.

4. Once downloaded, perform any unzipping of the file if necessary. Otherwise, you just need to click the application file to start the program - no further "installation" required!
